Delaney Statement on Airstrike in Iraq Against Iranian Military Officials

Posted by Team Delaney on January 3, 2020

FRIENDSHIP HEIGHTS, MD – John Delaney releases the following statement:

“What is important at this moment in time is full coordination between the Administration and Congress to ensure the safety of all Americans in Iraq and throughout the region. That has to be our number one priority. While Soleimani was directly responsible for the deaths of countless lives, including many Americans, and was a significant danger to our troops and a destabilizing force in the region and deserved to be brought to justice for his actions against our troops, the Administration’s failure to brief Congressional leadership on this action is troubling and raises the risk of reckless actions that could lead to a dangerous escalation.”
